Hi Everyone,

I have just posted my web site online, it is still in it's infancy.
But any comments would be appreciated

Works well and onloads well. Maybe yet too clinic and cold though. Some warm colors would make miracles on it. But the base is good and funtional

Hi Glenn, Excellent start! Did you take your degree course at Leeds? Just wondering because that's where I went - Leeds College of Art and Design - as it was then.

NAVIGATION
Good clean looks. Very efficient navigation (Dynamic Drive is a great place to look isn't it!) and it loads quickly.

ERROR
I'm on "Match #1" page and the HOME button gives a 404 (page not found). As you're using an external .JS file I can't tell you why. In fact the HOME button gives a 404 on every page I've tried. Don't forget your server is case-sensitive - that's the usual fault.

PORTFOLIO
Approx 21*30cms Graphite pencil on Cartridge Paper.
the HTML code for the multiplication sign is "&-times-;" (without the hyphens) which gives a good clean serif-free cross.

The "Lion" page title is "match2large" - if you make it "Lion - graphite pencil drawing" or similar the search engines will index it much more easily and give it a higher ranking. They can't see the picture - you have to tell them....

"Match1large"
A standard dial-up account (mine's running at 33,600) is spending a lot of time downloading a lot of white with a match in the centre. You could try having a table cell sized to your current image size, code the background as white then crop your "match" image right down to the match and position it centrally. It'll load like lightning and look the same. Same goes for the Lion.

BIO page
Don't forget the Internet is International..... Leeds, West Yorkshire, England (or Great Britain or UK) might be better. Not everyone knows where that is. I do of course because I only live about 30 miles away.

Thanks for the comments, so far.

Mike I will look into the points you raised, I sometimes forget there are people still on Dial-up it is easy to do when you are on broadband.
The Degree course was at London.

Seeing that you live so close, I would not mind meeting you for some tips if you have time, some time in the future. Your work is excellent.
